where do you put the jack stands?
Hi.
I have a good jack, but if I want to change my own oil,
I need to get the whole back end up in the air, so I'd
expect to have to jack one end of the rear up, and
then put a jackstand somewhere under that end, then
do the same on the other side. However, when I jack
up one side of the rear, I use the jacking point for the
jack. What other part in the rear is safe for a jackstand?
thanks,
Joe

There are two versions of the AC jack. Do you need the long version to lift the whole rear end or can you do it with the shorter version? It would be a lot easier to store the shorter version, if it actually works.

I have the long version. It also reaches the front jack point on the S2000. I don't think the short version would reach either. I don't have any of the accessories but I will be ordering a set of their jackstands. They have a new version with a flat rubber padded top which will work great for the P-cars jack points.

Great. BTW, how often do you change the oil? I drive the GT2 pretty hard, but not that often. I was thinking every 3K.

This is where I bought my AC jack stands:

I looked on the AC Hydraulics' website and there are a number of jacks to choose from. Any specific model number? Thanks again.

I just bought the shorter jack online, since it seems like it will work to change the oil. I also picked up two jack stands, as well. Thanks for all of the advise.It sure makes it a lot easier once some one has already figured it out. It should be paid back after just a few oil changes based upon the prices that dealers charge in LA.
